Okay, I have an ISO image of windows vista ultimate (x86) for a 32bit processing system. I also have recently aquired a second hard drive (E:), which I have already put files and programs into. I have PowerISO on the second HD (E:), and I want to not only install Windows Vista, but switch my HDs and install vista on my second hard drive (E:) (well, actually, it will be my primary). I am basically aiming for installing vista by using PowerISO to mount the ISO image of Vista, moving all the files in my second drive (E:) to my first drive (C:), and switching my HDs so that my (E:) drive is now my master drive, and my (C:) drive is my back-up or secondary drive.

Note: my HDs are IDE interface, so the master/slave jumper configurations would be nice.

Basically what I'm asking is: is it possible to install Vista by mounting the image and restarting the computer?

Also, I need to know what to do about XPsp2, because I have heard that I cannot put vista on my computer while XP is on.TY

My dvd writer code is: NEC DVD RW ND-2510A (if that helps)

I have had it for a few years, and it had never had a problem, until now. I bought some new dvd's which do not work on my burner. I have tested the new dvds on a couple other pcs and a mac and they worked fine. But for some reason my dvd writer will not write to these discs, but it does still write to my regular discs, just not these new ones.

The new discs are by a company called CMC, they are 16x -r dvds.

Please someone help me as im going crazy trying to solve the problem.

I am considering buying a laptop with Vista already installed.
Does it only stink if you install it on a computer that previously had another os installed? - or -
Are people finding that it works well on new systems that have never had another os installed?
